Well, we all kind of figured they'd be doing this. At least it looks pretty cool, for what it's supposed to be.

Well - seeing how I'm going to make a concerted effort to NOT be a total sucker and completionist - this should be easy to pass up. Especially since it's a Target exclusive. (Don't you DARE offer to pick me up one, Sal.)

It's hard to tell from the picture just what's goin' on with this.
Looks like a re-painted Rancor with some added armor, maybe a saddle?
No oversized tusks that I can see.
Is there somebody riding on his back?
Guess I'll wait till we get better pics to make a judgement.

I'm waiting for a better picture but it seems to me that the arms are more splayed out than before. Could this mean ball sockets? - I hope so.....

Nah, it's more a "Why do you always ask the questions for which you know the answer?" kind of thing.

Will it come with a rider?

(as I think of this I still have not opened my POTF Rancor for my Jabba The Hutt scene.)

It looks like a different sculpt than the POTF2 Rancor from ten years ago. It looks a bit slimmer. Aren't they also supposed to have a "Return of the Jedi" battlepack with the Rancor too? If it's a new sculpt, I'll imagine they'll repaint it. With any luck, we'll have a Rancor for every color of the rainbow.

I like the beasties so I'll probably get whatever rancor they throw at me.

I like the Beasties, too, but they've just not been the same since Ill Communication.

I don't have a Rancor so I'll probably get this. Then I'll be better prepared when I go into the Rancor Pit.

I like Rancors so this thing will be a easy pick'her'upper when i see it, if i see it. Hopefully it will be a new sculpt or at least retooled with some articulation.

Looks good to me, I like what I am seeing so far from the unleashed game. I will pick up one of these.

The packaging on it is about the only selling point for me.

There is a rumor circulating that a ROTJ Rancor Battle Pack is suppose to be coming as well. If this is true, I will hold out for that one.
